To compare work productivity among employed people with arthritis to healthy controls.
The data source was the 2005 Canadian Community Health Survey. The outcomes were work absence (absenteeism) in the last week and reducing activities at work (presenteeism). The key explanatory variable was chronic condition status: 1) no chronic conditions; 2) arthritis only; 3) any chronic condition but arthritis; and 4) arthritis with other chronic conditions. Logistic regressions were used to measure the association between chronic conditions status and absenteeism and presenteeism.
The odds of presenteeism among people with arthritis only were 8-fold greater than the odds among people without any chronic conditions. However, arthritis only was not found to increase the odds of absenteeism.
Employed people with arthritis are able to continue working but at reduced capacity.
比较关节炎患者与健康对照者的工作生产力。
资料来源于 2005 年加拿大社区健康调查。结果为上周工作缺勤(旷工)和减少工作活动(出勤但工作效率降低)。主要解释变量为慢性疾病状况:1)无慢性疾病;2)仅关节炎;3)除关节炎外的任何慢性疾病;4)关节炎伴其他慢性疾病。采用逻辑回归来衡量慢性疾病状况与旷工和出勤但工作效率降低之间的关系。
仅患关节炎者出勤但工作效率降低的可能性是无任何慢性疾病者的 8 倍。然而,仅患关节炎并未增加旷工的可能性。
有工作的关节炎患者能够继续工作,但工作能力降低。
